13 But reioyce, in as much as ye are partakers of Christes passions: that when his glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad. 14 Yf ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christe, happy are ye. For the spirite of glory and of God, resteth vpon you: On their part he is euyll spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 See that none of you be punished as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euyll doer, or as a busie body in other mens matters. 16 Yf any man suffer as a Christian man, let hym not be ashamed, but let him glorifie God on this behalfe. 17 For the tyme is come that iudgement must begin at the house of God. Yf it first begin at vs, what shall the ende be of them whiche beleue not the Gospell of God? 18 And if the ryghteous scacely be saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare? 19 Wherefore, let them that are troubled accordyng to the wyll of God, commit their soules to him with well doyng, as vnto a faythfull creatour. 1 Peter 4:13-19, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
